Yes some use it and some use Simple Green. I prefer to use a product
specifically formulated for the task and that leaves a protective film on
the blade. The other products may cause rust. CMT's Formula 2050.
Environmentally friendly, non toxic, works real fast, and my first bottle
lasted 3 years.

HI

I have a carbide tipped 10" blade which is causing some "burned" marks
on wood. It occurs when I'm ripping, and have to stop to reposition
my hands. As long as I keep the wood in motion, things are ok.

Seems to me I read something about using oven cleaner to remove
the build up. Can any one confirm?

Thanks

Jim
